How to Pack the Ultimate Picnic

Summer PicnicWe swear by these picnic tips:

Pack resealable plastic bags: That'll let you eat now--and later.

Light is easy: Why haul a huge, hard cooler halfway around the park? A soft fabric version is just as roomy--and easier on the arm.

Serving sandwiches? Pumpernickel bread is sturdier than white and won't get soggy.

Avoid leftovers: They don't stand a chance under the relentless sun. For easy portion control, pack your picnic in pre-slotted containers.
